Case Details
Lori Vallow, initially a loving mother, underwent a profound transformation after marrying Charles Vallow in 2006. They raised their children, Tylee and Joshua “JJ” Vallow. However, around 2017, Lori’s behavior took a disturbing turn, coinciding with her interest in Chad Daybell’s apocalyptic writings.
Her fascination with Daybell’s doomsday scenarios marked the start of her troubling transformation. By 2018, Lori and Chad formed a close bond, despite both being married to others, sharing their religious and apocalyptic beliefs.
A series of disturbing events followed Lori’s association with Chad, including the shooting death of Charles Vallow in 2019 by Lori’s brother, Alex Cox. This incident raised suspicions about the family’s dynamics and Lori’s involvement.
The most disturbing chapter began with the September 2019 disappearance of Tylee and JJ. Despite mounting suspicions and investigations, Lori and Chad remained silent. The grim discovery of the children’s bodies in June 2020 on Chad’s property brought the case to a shocking reality.
Lori Vallow Daybell faced numerous charges, including murder and conspiracy, following the discovery. In a nationally watched trial, she was convicted and sentenced to life in prison without parole in May 2023. The case shed light on Lori’s deep involvement in extremist beliefs and raised important questions about recognizing and addressing such dangers in society.
